Hi Carl, What a lovley Name Carl…reminds one of an impatient child.<g> Perhaps you could restate your question in the form of an anwer. I've just stumbled upon this posting of your and can't understand it's obvious anger. It appears as if you may have asked a question to no one in particular and therefore that's who responded. If your question was about the purchase of a Scanner you may want to state your exact needs. For Example are you interested in OCR? Will you be using this mostly for Grayscale or Color? Is Speed a Factor? What if you could get a great little scanner at a great Price but the tech. support was just about nil' ? If you happen to subscribe to the Computer Shopper they evauluate Scanners from time to time and I remember them doing a pretty good evaluation on the most popular scanners available at the time about a couple months ago. However there was no clear winner. It depended upon what it was you had planned to do with the Scanner. I realize this still doesn't answer your questions about scanners but I don't have enough information from you at this point to really help. Could you please write down all your questions in "Orange" crayon only on the back of a Brown Paper Bag and post it on the open Jobs Board at the UpComing Siggraph. Be sure and list your home address and phone number along with a Fax line. 8–^) Murph'
